Margaret Cho and the West Memphis Three
Edited on Mon Aug-23-04 10:03 PM by YellowRubberDuckie
Margaret Cho's web blog. She visited The West Memphis Three. She looks anorexic. But that aside, this is a very informative article. I urge you to read it. There are way too many inconsistencies in the story of how these three guys were supposed to have killed those three boys. Apparently since they listened to heavy metal music and were interested in the history of the occult, they killed them. And there was other evidence, but most of it points to the Stepdad of one of the kids. Anyway, here's the link to that story and a link to the Free the West Memphis Three website.

1. There is a book about this case as well

I will have to look up the title on Amazon, but this whole case sounds fishy.

The stepdad was a real scumbag, too.

"Devil's Knot" is the book.

2. Well, and few years later, Byers' mom mysteriously was killed too
And they STILL didn't look at the stepdad. INCOMPETENT COPS!

3. Just easier to stick it to 'em "prevert weirdos."
That case makes me sick to my stomach. I donate every time I make a sale.

Any of us goth/punk/outsider kids could have been them, living in a small town and being different.

5. I've followed this closely
as I was a Black clothes wearing Metallica Fan

I think it was the stepdad .

7. I Loved how the DA mentioned that one of the three read Crowley
and used that as a point to claim they were guilty. Hell, I've read Crowley AND Hitler. Just because I've read someone's works it doesn't mean I agree with them. Sometimes you want to know what the "other side" thinks.
